Extract

Following rediscovery of the sclerosponges (Hartman 1969, 1979; Hartman and Goreau, 1970, 1975) and recognition of their similarities to the stromatoporoids (Hartman and Goreau, 1970, p. 221–228), classification and interpretation of fossil Porifera have undergone major revisions during the past ten years. Our interpretation of the “edges” of the phylum have been considerably expanded.
